[Edward "Brill" Lyle and Robert sit in a restaurant. Brill tells Robert about his shady past as a NSA agent]
Edward Lyle: So, we were helping the secret police supply weapons... to the Afghani rebels fighting the Soviets. My partner and I were on the eastern border monitoring Soviet military transmissions. It was kind of fun actually.
[Brill chuckles]
Edward Lyle: I liked the Iranians. Back in Tehran, the hard-liners seized the embassy, and overnight, the whole country changed. People we'd been working with, they turned on us. I got out. My partner didn't. By the time I got home, the whole mission had become a press disaster waiting to happen. Aiding and abetting the new enemy. The agency conveniently forgot I existed. I don't blame them. It's what they had to do. I loved the agency. I loved the work. I loved the people. It was my whole life.

Edward Lyle: To your family, friends, everyone you know, everyone you meet. That's why I went away and didn't come back. You gotta go away, Robert.
Robert Clayton Dean: No, I don't think so. This is my life. I worked hard for it, and I want it back.
[Brill eats]
Robert Clayton Dean: I grew up without a father. I know what that is. And I will not allow my family to go through that.
